Just bought a 55 gallon and replanted the tank. Pics... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What each person likes individually I think it comes down to what you would like personally. As suggested by Rivercats earlier, i wouldn't recommend it if you have fish that like to dig, like Cichlids, might become a hassle keeping your water look clean and not cloudy. I personally like the...

I've taken some really nice pictures lately. I'll be posting some up soon guys!

Bump to page one of thread!

One if my favorite in here

Just uploading some photos I took yesterday. About time to trim the plants soon again.

All true aquatic live plants, no fake plants :-)

Nice Article Thank you for providing something that offers information towards my questions that i have. Personally, i won't take offense if anyone on here disagrees or negatively criticizes what i think or am doing. I look forward to the different ideas on here and knowledgeable...

Andrew, I provided a logical explanation as to why I believe some cichlids are capable of eating meat and maintaining a diet with this in it (close to OP). Please inform me or educate me, why this is bad for their organs? What happens to their organs if they eat meat. I am interested in why this...

I'm acknowledging that the tank mates will not be able to remain in my 55 gallon long permanently, due to their need of more living space later on. The setup, regarding the live plants, the filtration, substrate, and food itself could be permanent if I chose. You have a point though, just...

Hi bmarine, Chicken and beef are just a small portion of what the diet of my tank consists of. I cut it into small enough pieces, similar to their pellet food size. A cichlids diet is very diverse and can survive on many different things, in nature they don't depend on high quality food pellets...

I apologize for going off topic on the OP, i was trying to answer questions and feedback being given back to me after my response was placed. As you can see, a new thread has been started already. No offense taken. I know everyone on here is very passionate about what they do and things can get...

Thank you for the feedback and information. I have been in the hobby for about 4 1/2 years now,when i first started pursuing my degree in biology. I got into the hobby because i did research in freshwater ecosystems while in school. This specific tank set up is what has been up and running...

I just wanted to show a video of my fish eating the shrimp. I though it was pretty neat. I don't consider it a waste, simply $1 for 20 live ghost shrimp, my fish love it. And a fine pellet diet is present for my fish as well, as stated in one of the earlier post, don't know if you read it. I...

Eventually i will have to get rid of some of the tankmates when they grow into their size, as i stated before. I know this already. I knew the frontosa would definitely have to go because i could do the frontosy by itself in a 55 gal long and even then i would consider doing it bigger.This set...

Editing responses? you edited your comment from : and went on to say now: Your response is a bit confusing and i don't know if I understand what you're trying to say. I've explained my reasoning to why i have my set up the way i do. Thank you for the feedback!....:thumb:

Photo depiction of the jaw description i gave This photo can show the basic structure of what i mentioned in the jaw anatomy of cichlids.

Cichlids are one of the worlds most diverse eaters actually. TheCommnunityCichlid, It seems your responses are right along with other people that have opinionated and gave feedback to my tank setup before, which were incorrect, in my opinion. I firmly believe that doing something and arguing...

I hand feed them the food when it comes to the steak and chicken. Other than that I place it in the tank and they eat it. The Hap Livingstoni is the biggest one, more along 8in", followed second by the parrot being around 6.5-7" now. As far as the parrot fish, he was given to me, and I know he...

I stated what my aquarium's diet consist of, I did not say my routine consists of feeding them all these things at once. I am aware of what species of fish I have and what their preferred diet is. I'm obviously not feeding raw steak directly to my Tropheus duboisi, for example, because...

As I stated in the beginning of my response. "While size will be the reason I cannot keep these fish together....." I am not arguing the point that the size of the fish and environment they live in does not matter. I'm arguing that having different species not naturally found together will...

And yes I will upgrade to a bigger tank in the near future. :-)

1 1/2 years ago I was told something similar by the local fish store I bought them from. They claimed I would not see last 6 months with these fish together. While I do think that size will be the reason why I cannot keep them all together, I would respectfully disagree these fish cannot coexist...

I started out all them with about 10 of them and increased to all I have within 3 months. There are more in the tank which I didn't mention as well This is the full list: Hap livingstoni Black convict Cichlid Afra Cichlid Duboisi Cichlid African jewel Auratus Cichlid Acei Cichlid Bumblebee...
